On Friday T.I. pleaded for leniency before a judge but was met with little. His 11-month sentence was not the maximum term that could have been handed down but it is a lengthy bid, regardless. After the decision was handed down, Dwight Thomas, the Atlanta rapper’s attorney, spoke about his clients surprise at being sent back to prison. In comments made to Freddyo.com Thomas stated, “Of course we’re disappointed in the sentencing. At the same time, it’s far less than what the government asked for…Of course he’s disappointed. This is not what he expected; this is not what he wants in his life at this point. The judge is giving him two weeks to self surrender.”
Earlier at the probation hearing, T.I. admitted he has drug problem and regretted that his addiction cause him to violate the terms of his probation. According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the man born Clifford Harris told the judge, “I screwed up big time, and I’m sorry. I’m truly and sincerely sorry. I don’t want and I don’t need to use drugs anymore. I want them out of my life.” CNN.com reports that Harris continued, “As I discovered in talking to my probation officer, I had many problems from my childhood. Now I am down to the disease of addiction. I need help, for me, my mother, my kids. I need the court to give me mercy. Judge, don’t send me back to prison.” That request was, of course, denied.
The Grand Hustle CEO’s already delayed new album, King Uncaged, was scheduled to be released in the fourth quarter of 2010 but further postponement now seems likely.
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time…some people are honestly really fucking stupid…
This dude is an arrogant moron..You bought this on yaself Tip..man up and do that bid..stop crying bout u got an addiction now..its an insult to real addicts who suffer everyday trying to stay sober..u just a spoiled celebrity who thought he was above it all..welcome back to earth b…
no deserve to go to prison. man i wish he didnt have to do that time. many can say he deserve this but if you were in his shoes you wouldnt be saying that .
dood! he’s only getting 11 months… niggas like me and you would be under the jail! he gotta be one of the luckiest cats alive!!!
Yea and if we were rapists we would be sayin we dont deserve no jail time…is that true fuck no this dude already got a big motherfuckin break a year for assault rifles? then gets the fuck out and what like 3 months later gets caught with weed e and codeine ur right he dont deserve 11 months(which he will probably serve 2 or 3 of dont forget) he deserves 3 years at least and thats actual time locked up not 3 years then get out for good behavior.
so sick of this “war on drugs”… someday we’re going to look back at this Prohibition of drugs like we look back now at Prohibition of alcohol and laugh at the ridiculousness of it… an alcoholic is WAY more dangerous than a drug addict, yet our society encourages alcoholism (just watch a football game on tv and you see what i mean)
if Obama was real – which we all know he isnt – and if he really cared about black people – which he doesn’t, he doesn’t have a single drop of slave blood in him – he would end the “war on drugs” TOMORROW. but no, the New World Order won’t allow him to, so he wont
that’s the dumbest shit i’ve ever read
dumbest shit ever spoken!
The War on Drugs is a joke! If it wasn’t, they would be in Mexico right now.
I agree with the ‘war on drugs’ rant. Very true. The Obama sh*t is silly though. Be thankful youve got a leader as good as him. The US seems to have either plain evil or borderline mentally challenged leaders for the most part, you should appreciate when you get an intelligent, caring guy for once. lol
Joe get in school quick, you have to be the dumbest dude on this post, Ask the citizens of Chicago if Obama is real, Barack is the realest pres we’ll ever get, just too bad he’s caught up with the other bigots, War on Drugs is just a ploy we all know that America spends about 10 billion dollars annually on drugs, so who’s gonna really pull that plug. Lol, come holla at me we’ll go on a history lesson, ignorance comes in all forms
I was surprised too…when he only got a year for buying fucking assault rifles
AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
i thought so too. leniency? probation strictly means dont fuck up or you’re going to pay. although i do think lindsay lohan’s ass shoulda went back too but then again she wasn’t going around buying guns and shit.
i dont think every rapper thinks he is above the law but i do believe alot of niggas get to caught up in public perception and what they look like in another mans eyes as opposed to gods.ti is a leader he just needs to do his best to shake his bad habits.i know you can lose your life in the pen to but hes not going to do life and he’s still young.the brother just has to do a better job at keeping his nose clean.god bless him and his family thou i know its a ruff time.
free tip
free tip what a faggot. free tip yeah thats a worthy cause worth spending your time on. smh. you should be worrying about Free Hat! Free Hat!
FREE HAT!!!!
Can someone get him an iPhone in the joint please?
Weezy had weak ass audio qaulity on his “prison leaks”. i.e Light Up verse, ugh.
I don’t feel sorry for him, he did the crime so pay up. BUT!!!!!! White girl what ever her name is, got sent to a drug rehab for violating her parol. She should have gotten jail time too. I guess they are going to wait until she overdose and then blame the drug dealers for getting hooked on cocaine.
That King Uncaged album is never coming out hahaha
A lengthy bid? 11 months is a lengthy bid? To anyone who thinks this is a lengthy bid and all u free tip faggots fuck yall. I wish as a middle class american citizen i could do a bunch of felonies get arrested get a fucking pathetic ass sentence, then get out of jail do some more dumb ass felonies and be surprised to do 11 months. With every rappers arrest is another slap in the face to me and every other real us citizen and one more bit of proof that as long as your rich you truly are above the law. if i were to do the same things as him, not even counting his 20 something priors already just the guns id still be in jail..and like 3 years later when i do get out id get 5 eassssy for having e codeine and weed failing a drug test and chillin with felons fuck outta here dont free tip bury that bitchass.

Nov. 1997 arrested in Georgia for distribution of cocaine, manufacturing and distributing a controlled substance, and giving authorities a false name. He was later sentenced for this crime serving seven months in jail and released on seven years of probation.

Clifford is clearly delusional.
And the drugs made you by a fucking Tony Montana war chest? The drugs made you bust a uey in a fucking half a million dollar car? Whaaaaa! The drugs made me do it! Whaaaaa! Oldest legal strategy in the book….
looks like its gonna be King Re-Caged for now 🙁
Something wrong with him boss he just can”t get right
Man, another year for your boy, for some damn 10$ E-pills. The cop stop him for suspicion of carrying around extacy. Smells like a setup to me, but your boy T.I.P should know better by now. That them white people are mad they had to let him go the first time and that they are just bidding there time until you do something stupid
actually dumbass he was stopped for doing an illegal u-turn and searched becasue his car reeked like weed. (that cali dro is impeccable). so you’re just straight up wrong conspiracy theory dickhead. so dumb. and $10 dollars and e-pill. wow. wat a bigger fuckin idiot loser. hey dumbass, thats waaay too much. you never catch me paying that much for that shit. 10 bucks?!?! i wish i came up where u did. $$$$$$$
when i was in highschool they used to sell em for $20-25 canadian
that sucks. i bet they was the ones thats half meth too lol
Dumb ass fool,. people envy the position you’re in , and you steady keep messin it up,. your an idiot.period. maybe it’ll take some jail house love to keep you out.
‘With nothin you can do but bust back and cop a plea/ but 5 of them and 1 of you, that equals Got to me.’
I’m on probation and I know that if I violate I’m going to jail. What? Dude thinks he’s an exception? Get serious. What about you is the exception to the law? Bill Clinton was fucked up for perjury; and you’re T.I.? Gucci said ‘We gotta leave the street mentality behind. It’s just gonna put us behind bars.’ For as much shit as we give Gucci, he seems a bit more responsible.
Don’t forget home. But that swangin and bangin is just gonna get you in trouble, no?
hopefully this will be 11 months where i dont have to hear any of his shitty radio friendly self contradicting postive message, pop callabos
PUSSY nigga just do yo time an quit cryin,real gangsta ‘s dont cry bout their consquences for their actions,KING of the SOUTH my ass,LIL FLIP is,H-TOWN baby!!!!!
